I have a Visual C++ 2010 project set up but the source files use a make file to build and don’t take kindly to visual C++’s compiler (some very obscure missing obj file no one has been able to help me with).
So yeah, that is my question basically, to override Visual C++’s build command to open a visual studio 2010 commandprompt and execute a command..
You should configure the project as a “makefile” project type. With a makefile project, you get to specify the commands that the IDE will execute for the build/clean/rebuild commands. As the name might suggest, it’s pretty much ideal for running a makefile to perform the build.
The IDE still parses and provides intelligent code navigation for source files that are in the project.
